Cinemas reopening here in four days, I kid you not.
Doesn’t mean people are going to attend
Of course.

Also, what are the Croatian cinemas going to show? I'm not sure what's the story with Croatia but if there are no American movies in the theaters over here, there's not enough national content to support multiplexes. And people don't really flock to see Bollywood or Chinese films... French are pretty popular but that's about it, and there aren't any new ones of these either.

I was hoping for some classics once cinemas open earlier here than in the US. Maybe get people going by showing the original Star Wars, Back to the Future, ET, Indiana, Avengers, Avatar, The Dark Knight trilogy, or if I'm going to dream 2001, Oz, Lawrence, Gone with the Wind, Interstellar or Zhivago.

Croatian cinema is going to be booming

In a few years a fully Croatian movie will win Best Picture, best director, best international feature, best original screenplay, best editing and best production design

Well, I've been furloughed. Just when I thought healthcare was safe.

Yea basically

Meanwhile getting $500 a week in unemployment

That's good it'll be retroactive.

You got your unemployment pretty fast. I'm still waiting for mine.

I applied in Texas at first but a rep in Texas told me to apply in New Jersey since the company I worked for is headquartered there and they had me pay state taxes to Jersey.

It's such an annoying situation.

A friend explained to me that for remote workers, there's a law that states remote workers are supposed to pay state taxes to the state they live in. New Jersey is exempt from that law. -_-
